Adjusting horizontal table spacing
I'd like to adjust the space LaTeX puts between the content of cells in a tabular environment. Basically I need to squeeze a table just a tiny little bit. Specifying a smaller columnwidth with p{} doesn't work as it causes cell content to wrap. It sounds like there should simply be some parameter to adjust, but I don't know which?

Adjusting horizontal table spacing
Modify the length \tabcolsep. It is one of the parameters that control the formatting of the tabular environment.
